Clovelly (again)

It's Clovelly again because the first post got swallowed up in The blogosphere. ¡Qué pena!

So, back to the doings of the day. These brightly painted "shacks" line the beachfront in Westward Ho! I guess if you have lots of gear and you go to the same place often, they serve a useful function:

Clovelly, originally an estate, now a tiny town, has two striking features. One is that it is all cobblestone. The other is that you can go either straight up or straight down. Sideways, not so much!





Eli (that is his name; the one in the background is Toby) enjoy those meagre wisps of hay. The food at the New Inn is no better. Neither salt nor pepper for the peas, nor packets of ketchup for the chicken, nor malt vinegar for the fries brought any of it up to edible standards.




Reminds me of a joke: Sarah says to Becky, "So, how was that new restaurant you and Abie tried last night?". "Oy! There you shouldn't go. The food, it was terrible, and the portions, they were so small!"
